In any event, this spot, brought to you by the same people behind Boiler Room, is on its way. With a loungy front room that gives way to spacious booth lined walls in the back, Parts and Labor is worth your time if you spend a lot of time in the neighborhood. That's a caveat worth underscoring: Boiler Room is to floppy pizza as Parts and Labor is to burgers. I'd never tell anyone outside the California/Logan Square Blue Line radius to go out of their way for a slice, but I'll be damned if I don't spend a lot of my own time there chasing pizza with Jamo soft serve.

Given its equally well-stocked bar and reasonable prices, Parts and Labor has all the makings of a neighborhood haunt. For ten bucks, you can get a double cheeseburger, a side, and a beer or shot. And if they tweak their burger patties (more on that in a minute), I may just have to think about extending my recommendation radius.
